Church was nice today, in part because people from the small group we went to on Tuesday recognized and said hi to us.
Nothing else very interesting happened today. We still have chores to do, so that's a bummer.
Oh, I did finally get the rugs situated to my liking. I did end up switching them like I mentioned earlier. I think I like this way even more than the initial way.
I'm flying on a bird in WoW. So I guess you get a few more ramblings.
I'm feeling a bit stressed, but am not really sure why.
The puzzle I started is really hard. Well, I'm actually just continuing it from a while ago when I had to put it away so that we could use the table. Most of the pieces I have left should be able to fit in right now, but I have a really hard time finding their location. I've thought about doing it by shape alone because it has a lot of interesting shapes, but haven't quite committed to that yet.
The PS3 keeps freezing up. It's broken. :(
We had enough chex left over for three batches of chex mix, which is exciting because I thought we only had enough for 1-2. 'Chex mix' is cool because it has two x's in it.

Saturday: Puzzles and slippers.
Ben and I finished the puzzle I got for Christmas:
I got my Christmas slippers today (we had to send one pair back because they were too small. The sizing isn't quite right on them.)
They even have little tails:

Thursday: Apparently, I'm a pregnant small business owner
Ah. It feels like a good night to write. I'm also in the raid (which is just starting) so we'll see how much I actually write.
1) Tuesday Ben was asked by the house builder how far along I was. This happened because when we were looking at the house we were talking about babies and having the master bedroom on the first floor. Needless to say, I'm not pregnant.
2) Ever since moving to this house I've gotten various pieces of mail about stuff that I would need were I a small business owner. And then today I got a call about it. I'm unsure as to how this rumor started, but also don't know how to stop it.
3) In NY, whenever we see a car on the side of the highway. I've noticed there is something sticking out of it's window (a T-shirt, bag, etc.). I found out today that it means the car is disabled. It doesn't make a ton of since to me though, as the car is on the side of the road on a highway. I mean, why else would you stop in the middle of nowhere except that your car stopped working?
4) I was going to buy another rug from crate and barrel to match one we got for Christmas. But it already disappeared from the website. So now I need to rethink my rug strategy. I had put rug 2 by the front door, but kind of wanted something longer there. So maybe I'll put the other rug in the bathroom, and get some more of those, and put the one that is in the bathroom by the front door. We'll see what happens.
5) It snowed today. :)
6) We've been playing a bit less WoW lately...its been kind of nice. I'm working on a puzzle and getting a few more chores done during the week (i.e., keeping up with the chores, like keeping the kitchen clean). We might end up playing more again later, but for now its nice.
7) My Christmas present from Ben finally made it here a few days ago. They were the cutest microwavable polar bear slippers. Unfortunately, they were too small, even though the size was right. I got them sent back today.
8) Three bosses down. The third was pretty easy. I'm starting to fall asleep though. :(
9) I don't feel like typing anymore. Good night.

Wednesday: PS3
Well, the PS3 came today. It also came with the wrong version of Rock Band which was disappointing. However, the cables unexpectedly came too, so that was nice. We ended up renting a movie (the Netflix timing was a little messed up) to watch and it looked really nice.

Tuesday: Waiting in the queue
The dumb warcraft queue has started again. You have 187 people that need to get on before I stop writing. This will equal about six minutes of typing. Oh, seven. Why is it going up?!
1. Today work was pretty good. I feel incredibly inadequate because I'm only working about 4 hours/week overtime and everyone else is doing 20+. Oh so it feels. But it's probably true. I know it's because I don't have any specific programs to be working on or floor support (just my excel programs), but I feel dumb nevertheless. Anyway, I showed one program that got a good response and almost finished a second. I'll need more work here soon, but I doubt it will be a problem.
2. We went to a Bible Study tonight. The study was good. We played "WoW (as in the Christian music) trivia stuff". The girls made a comeback the first game after getting hard questions while the boys got easy ones. It was funnier.
3. All of our sheets are in the drier. Nope. That's a lie. Only one sheet is in the drier, but all of the bottom sheets got washed this morning so it has to dry before I can go to bed.
4. Well, I'm at less than a minute. You didn't quite get seven minutes worth of writing because Ben and I talked about the work dumbness. Er, actually I vented, Ben co-miserated, and we solved nothing.
5. Also, here is Flurry:

Monday: not much new
1. Work was almost slow today...tomorrow it will pick back up.
2. Discover (the credit card) seems to have a really slow e-mail system.
3. We just killed the first boss in Black Temple.
4. I've throughly enjoyed the last few PhD comics. They really hit the spot (about journal club).
5. I'm ready to get some real desks. I'm sick of repacking boxes every time we need to find something officy.

Sunday: church thoughts
Well, we didn't go to church again this week because Ben had a headache. That really isn't the problem though. The problem is that I didn't want to go to church. We haven't found a church that we love...we realize there were some problems with the Vineyard, but we really liked a lot of stuff about it. The one we are now thinking about is somewhat far away...about 25 min (although soon to be 30 min). I feel like I have so many excuses and none of them really hold any water.
And I can definetly tell a lack of fellowship with other Christians has affected my walk with God...
I'm in the perfect mood for my favorite sad songs. I have several others in the queue this time too, but these are the two I always come back to. It is well with my soul by Audio Adrenaline and "More than Just Enough" by Sara Luneack.
I would like to note that God has been extremely faithful.
